I think that Thor was just rounding out your post with a little more information since your post was about a single data point. No one disputes that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been rising on average. A single data point in January is not enough to predict a higher average measure in April or May.
It's a milestone, one that will be broken come April or May, if not sooner. That was the purpose of my OP; note how Donald Trump has completely ignored this very important milestone (at least until next year or the year after) in human history.
